Jay Cutler To The Bears!

In a somewhat surprising move, QB Jay Cutler has been traded, in principle so far, to the Chicago Bears. After talks were heating up in the past few days about him landing in Washington D.C., the Broncos totally hit us with a curve ball and sent him to the Windy City. If he is going to achieve any type of success he had last year two things will have to happen. Firstly, Chicago will need for LT Chris Williams, who was his Vanderbilt teammate, to step up and become that franchise LT they were looking for him to be last year. Secondly, they will need to address their receiver issues even more now and snag a receiver in the second round, such as Brian Robiskie from Ohio State or a Kenny Britt or Hakeem Nicks if they slide down to the middle of the second round. Cutler had an elite offensive line and receiving corps in Denver which is why he achieved so much success there. I think this might not be the best move for the Bears because Kyle Orton did flash from time to time that he could be their franchise quarterback. They have so many issues offensively that even though Jay Cutler is a significant upgrade from Kyle Orton, he may not end being as big of an upgrade as the Bears project him to be. The receivers they have there now such as Brandon Lloyd, who actually was pretty solid when healthy last year, Devin Hester and Earl Bennett, another one of his Vanderbilt teammates who he will obviously have chemistry with, could wind up being decent enough to allow Cutler to achieve his Denver success, but it would be wise for the Bears to surround him with whatever he needs given how much they gave up for him.
